♫ In an octopus’ garden In the shade ♫

So that’s how the lost chord was generated!

Moody Blues should be notified!!

Now I’ve heard there was a secret chordThat David played, and it pleased the LordBut you don’t really care for music, do you?

The man sleeps with his hat on? You can tell why he never found a wife.

Thanks, Chip, for a good day starter.

I love his little smile in the center of his body/face. :D

Dissonance!

Good morning Crew.

Wow. Never knew that thing was so talented. Impressive…

Or could be “The 5,000 Fingers Of Dr. T” .

Good one, Chip! Inspired by peyote? Or mushrooms?

Wondered if anyboy got that…

Well, Art Tatum has passed away, so it must be someone with more than two hands.

♪♫♪♫♪♫ “Under the sea, under the sea.”

“Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here, naturally…” ♪♫♪♫♪♫

I love the armèd blobolink.

My Octopus (piano) Teacher

Octet for solo piano, how about that

Even the monsters of the deep have soul …

Sinatra used to joke about his guitarist Tony Mottola he was so good if you weren’t watching you’d think it was an octopus playing.

“They say there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord…”

He can reach an octopus (octave) with those tentacles. Or two or three or eight.Good evening, Crew!

Should have brought that in for the night, Henry.

Funny timing: Just yesterday I was reading a short story I wrote years ago about (yup) a couple going to a piano concert and being impressed by an octopus playing such complex chords. Are you hacking into my computer, Chip?! Ha—I guess great minds think alike.

Good Evening, Crew.

But seriously, folks. The octopus is an incredibly intelligent critter. It can figure out a lot of different puzzles and is most like to escape from any sort of confinement. Probably smarter than a lot of humans.
